JAMES CLABEY, or NEW'YORK, n. Y.

BAKERS OVEN.

Specificationof Letters Patent. Patgnted 31211728, 1911;

Application filed December 24', 1909. ,ser'ia1no.5s4,se7.

I Be it known that I, JAMES CLAREY, a citizen of the United States,,residing at New York, in the county of New York, borough of Manhattan, and State of New. York, have invented certain new and useful Improve- 'the'oven both necessary and important, but.

so far'as I am aware no means have hitherto been provided for accomplishing this any more conveniently than poking a brush through openings of the shell or drum.

This generally necessitates the further removal of the dust from the stove or burner below.

It is the purpose of my invention to over-- come the foregoing ditficulty, and further to'provide a means for quickly dissipating and cooling the heated atmosphere of the oven if it should happen at any time that the bread was in danger of burning. Sometimes owing tm'overheatmg, or inattentlon,

.or sonie failure of the rotative mechanism, the'entire contents of the oven often numberinga hundred or-more loaves, would be over-baked and l1'l]1116l unless instantly removed from the heated atmosphere. I pro- I vide means for readily accomplishing this result.

IVith the foregoing and other ob ects 1n view my invention consists in the features of construction and combination as hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation with the fronthalf section of the shell removed. Fig. 2 isan end. elevation, and Flg. 3 is a transverse sectional View with the half sections partly separatedj Referring to the drawings in which like pertsare designated by thesame reference sign, 1 denotes the shell or drum which I make in two half sectlons, comprising a rear half section 2 and a front half section 3,

both of which are movab1e in my preferred construction, although it 1s only essential.

I that the front section be mademovable for the main purpose of the invention. Preferably the front section is made movablein every direction in a horizontal plane, which I accomplish by furnishing. it-wi-th rigid legs or standards 4 provided with ordinary swiveled casters 5 which will permit a universal movement of the section on any hori zontal floor or surface. construction shown the rear section is similarly provided. with legs or standards 6 having similar casters 7 so as to be movable with'the front section3 when desired.

8' denotes latches for securing the front '70 I and rear sections together. These latches may be'of .any desired sort, but I prefer plvoted hooks 9 having inclined surfaces 10 which may be Jannned down tight over pins 12-fixed tothe otherhalf section, thus drawing the two half sections together with great force or pressure. These hooks are capable of being easily and quickly lifted for the purposeof drawing the two shell half sections apart from one another, and

when constructed as shown, with the pins 12 on the front half section, present the special advantage of being capable of'acting like a hinge at one end of the shell or drum permitting the latter to swing open exclusively from the other end. This per-' mits an instant opening up of the shellor drum, when-required. I

15 denotes broadly the reel .or carrier having dependent swinging shelves 16. I make the latter with triangular end portions having open hooks 17 at their upper corners adapted to swing over and pivot on fixedgpins 18 projecting inward from the end wheels 20 of the reel.,' The reel has a central shaft or axle 21'journaled in bearings 22'in-the rear half shell section. Also forming part of this rear half shell section I provide a motor 24 of any desired sort, driving the reel 15 through the worm and gear train 25,

26 and 27. This motor is conveniently supported on a shelf or bracket 28 from the rear ha'lf shell section 2.

3O denotes a comparatively long narrow opening in the front shell half sect-ion 3, this opening being of such size and proportions as to permit bread to be removed from the shelves 16, individually as they. pass. the same. 31 denotes a door swinging upward into a position to close the said openlng 3 0. 11o i 'lhis door alone is employed for access in "supplying and *removing bread from the In the particular 65 shelves in the normal ordinary action of the maohlne.

33 designates burners, which in accord.

ance with my invention are not attached in any way to the shell half sections, but are independently supported on the fioor of the; building at such an elevation as to be dis posed directly between and beneath the shell half sections, the latter being formedto provide an opening at this pointthrough which the heated ga'sesmay pass upward. At the top of the. shell or drum, andpreferably in the rear half section thereof, I

.provide vent openings having dampers,-

the axle, 21 of which is merely received in" notches in the rear shell haltsection'con stituting the bearings 22. By this means the a reel is removable by merely lifting it up out of these notches.

The use of the invention will be obvious from the foregoing description- The reel or carrier 16 rotates'slowly in the heated atmosphere of the oven,'and the bread, placed in rows on the shelves 1!) as the latter successively pass the opening -30, is .baked by repeated turns of the reel over the burners, after which. the shelves may again be brought successively opposite the opening 30 for removal .of-the bread. Should the bread be in danger of burning, or any accldent occur to imperil the loa-ves within the oven, the front half section 3 is capable of being quickly swung away to dissipate the heated Y atmosphere of the oven, and instantly cool its whole interior. In like manner the oven is capable of being cleaned whenever required, and may be rolled away, either in part or as a whole from over the burners 33, either for the purpose of its own cleaning and dusting, or for the purpose of cleaning and dusting the burners.
